Conclusion
The acute (dead) toxicity of the herbicide (Glycel 410 SL) was manifested in the population of Eudrilus eugeniae when the amount of glyphosate reached 7,80 ± 0,29 g / l or 3578 ± 14,22 mg glyphosate / kg dry soil. This LC50 was higher than the concentration of 5,47 g / l, recommended by the manufacturer. This suggests that the rational application of this herbicide would not have a lethal effect on earthworms. Regarding the chronic effect of this herbicide, it has resulted in a reduction in the rate of hatching and the number of juveniles / cocoon. The concentration of the glyphosate solution (2 g / l) which reduced the rate of cocoon hatching and the number of individuals / cocoon, was lower than the concentration recommended (5,47 g / l) by the manufacturer . This suggests that the use of glyphosate herbicides may cause a decline in earthworms; which could damage the natural fertility of the soil and an ecosystem imbalance.
We are far from an "ecological" weedkiller as the title of this topic of m ... promises.
